Grief

Please read this before cominting.

All I want to do is curl up into a ball and cry till the pint I full asleep but in so numb I

can't even do that.

hey, super sorry to hear about your nan 😔. honestly, emotions can be tricky sometimes and it’s normal to feel mixed up; guilt's a part of grieving even when it feels like we shouldn't have any. but remember, not sending a thank you text doesn't erase the love and care you had for her and vice versa; you might consider writing a letter now—sometimes just getting things out can be healing ✍️. as far as managing things with ADHD, maybe try breaking down tasks into really small steps or using reminders so you don't get overwhelmed by everything at once? take it easy on yourself though—grief is a wild ride and there's no right way to experience it.

Grief can indeed bring about a whirlwind of emotions, and it's completely understandable to feel a mix of sadness and guilt. It's not uncommon to second-guess actions or inactions when reflecting on loved ones who've passed. Realistically speaking, missing that text doesn’t define your relationship with your nan; she knew you cared deeply for her. As for managing with ADHD, maybe experimenting with different coping strategies could help. Just allow yourself the space to experience these feelings—you’re exploring new emotional territories, which is undoubtedly challenging but necessary.

It's tough when emotions don't line up with how we think they should be. I've been there, feeling guilty and numb at the same time; it's a strange place to navigate. With your ADHD, maybe try mindfulness to bring some peace—it’s like buffering against the storm of emotions. A therapist once told me, “The heart knows no timeline for grief.” Maybe making a small ritual to remember her could help settle those feelings💔.

yo, sorry for what you're goin' through mate; it's tough when emotions are all over the place. with grief and ADHD, it’s like juggling too many balls at once—but don’t beat yourself up for not doing what you think you "should’ve done." life ain't about perfect timing or actions; it’s more about the love and memories shared 😢. maybe instead of getting caught in the 'what ifs', focus on how you can honor her memory now—like setting small rituals that keep her close in spirit? hang tight mate, emotions have a funny way of working themselves out eventually.

it sounds like you're really in the thick of it, dealing with all these mixed emotions. it’s so rough when you’re juggling feelings that don’t seem to make sense on top of everything else. maybe think about focusing on some kind of ritual or activity that celebrates her memory—something positive and personal just between you two? sometimes, those little tributes can bring a bit of peace or clarity when words or traditional grieving methods feel out of reach. remember, there's no wrong way to navigate all this; your journey is yours alone.

it sounds like you're navigating a complex landscape of emotions, which is pretty normal given such a significant loss, but remember that grieving doesn't have a one-size-fits-all approach, and not feeling overwhelmingly sad all the time doesn't invalidate your feelings or your relationship with your nan; perhaps trying to create new memories in her honor could be a unique way to process these emotions while acknowledging your reality.

Grief is such a complex emotional process that doesn't follow any straightforward path; it’s no wonder feeling numb enters the picture. The sense of guilt you’re experiencing is something many people can relate to, especially when reflecting on what could have been done differently. Remember, your nan likely knew how much she meant to you without needing constant reminders. Managing emotions with ADHD might feel overwhelming at times!!! However, creating small routines or setting gentle reminders for self-care could aid in navigating through these turbulent periods; personally, I found talking out loud to myself helpful when I felt misunderstood and lost 👀. Please don't be hard on yourself during this time because you're doing your best given the circumstances!

It's understandable to be torn between feeling numb and guilty, especially after losing someone important. Emotions don't always follow the script we expect them to; your feelings are valid even when they confuse you. With ADHD in the mix, finding balance might seem an uphill battle, but remember that grief isn’t linear—it's okay not to have all the answers right now 😊. Taking things day by day can eventually guide you through this tough patch.

Dealing with grief is like navigating a storm at sea, unpredictable and sometimes overwhelming; it's okay to not feel one specific way. Your emotions might be mixed, but they're all valid—even the numbness. Consider trying something new that connects you to your nan's spirit, like lighting a candle in her honor each night? It can create a small space for reflection and peace amidst the chaos!!!

Losing someone close is like sailing through uncharted waters: no compass, no map—just your instincts to guide you.

Frankly, focusing on what you "should've" done isn't productive!

Grief is a weird beast, isn't it? It's like you expect to feel one way and end up completely thrown off instead. Who even sets these 'standards' for how we're supposed to grieve, anyway?? If you're feeling guilty or numb, that's still part of the grieving process––you're definitely not doing anything wrong. Have you thought about writing a letter to your nan? Even if she can't read it, it might help express things that are weighing on your mind.

sometimes we just feel guilty for no reason, and it's perfectly fine to have moments where you're not sure what you're feeling 🤷‍♂️.

Man, grief is a messy, confusing beast that doesn't come with an instruction manual; it's perfectly normal to feel a cocktail of emotions and sometimes nothing at all. It sounds like you're beating yourself up over not reaching out sooner, but honestly, none of us are perfect, and I'm sure your nan knew how much you cared even if you weren't in touch every day! Maybe try finding little ways to honor her memory when you're ready—it could help ease some of that guilt while giving you a sense of closeness.

It's intriguing to explore the concept of emotional complexity, particularly in times of grief; it reminds me of the well-known adage: "Time heals all wounds." Often, it’s not just time that brings solace, but also self-compassion and understanding. You mentioned feeling guilty about not reaching out on your birthday, yet it's important to recognize that no relationship is defined by a single action or inaction. I remember once forgetting to wish my cousin on his special day due to a hectic schedule; despite this oversight, our bond did not wane because relationships are broader than any one moment. Have you considered discussing these emotions with someone who knew her as well? Sharing stories might provide comfort and even grant you new perspectives on how she lived her life and cherished her connections. Additionally, given your ADHD diagnosis, routine can be both a challenge and a support system—incorporating structured moments for reflection could potentially ease some of the overwhelm you're experiencing.

Oh man, losing someone really messes with your head, huh??? Trust me, feeling all over the place is totally normal!
